This article describes a mathematical model of a horizontal wind turbine of 500 W with a NACA 2418 airfoil type during the start-up condition for two proposed systems.The first one considers a wind turbine system where the friction moment is given by ball bearings.The second one proposes the replacement of the ball bearings by magnetic bearings called maglev wind turbine.The latter is a technology based on electromagnetic field to levitate a shaft.The magnetic bearing has Cold Brew Glass the features of non-mechanical contact, non-mechanical browband. friction, minimizing the damping in the wind turbine.
The results under a wind speed of 8 m/s show that there is an increase in power by 7.2 % generated by a wind turbine with magnetic bearings, besides under a condition of 4 m/s the start-run time is 8.96 s quicker for the maglev wind turbine.Finally, it also confirms that the maglev wind turbine can operate with a speed similar at 3 m/s.
